Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Could Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Match
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term agreement
The defender's recovery is moving forward according to plan, raising hope that the Real Madrid defender may return in time to play against his previous team Liverpool in November's European encounter.
The English player sustained a hamstring strain while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the fifth minute, with early estimates pointing to a possible layoff of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—just over a month since the incident happened.
Sources close to the situation suggest that the defender's healing process is advancing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first comeback to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the club he joined as a young youth talent was the "toughest choice he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, helping secure multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across various tournaments, logging over two and a half hours of action.
